The End Times as a Song

Chapter 428 The Ninth Madam's Secret Order

Huan Rugo panicked and moved backward, hiding in the corner of the bed.

"I……!"

Lin Yin looked at Huan Ruge, whose face had turned pale, and felt a pang of heartache. He truly didn't know why he had done such a thing to her. In this situation, it seemed that nothing he said would make a difference. He wanted to step forward to comfort Huan Ruge, but the panicked girl was even more frightened. She clutched her clothes tightly, trembled, and turned her head away, unable to look at Lin Yin.

"...!"

Lin Yin glanced at Huan Rugo, then turned and left.

The little water snake moved its body and swam to the shore of the Heart Lake Cottage.

Madam Jiu was enjoying fine wine and delicacies at the Heart Lake Pavilion. She glanced at the little water snake, put down her wine cup, and spoke to it.

"Shui Shui, come here...!"

The little water snake swam up to Madam Jiu and transformed into a maid.

"Your Highness, I have completed the task you entrusted to me...!"

The little water snake bowed to Madam Jiu and then stood up to speak to Madam Jiu.

"Very good, you did a great job...! Now just wait and see the show!"

Madam Jiu gave a cold laugh and said to the little water snake.

"Madam Jiu, aren't we going too far by doing this...!"

The little water snake looked worried and reminded Madam Jiu.

"Excessive...? What do you mean by that...?"

Madam Jiu picked up her wine glass and leisurely drank it. She crossed her legs and looked at the little water snake knowingly.

"Your Highness, this is, after all, the first time Prince Lin Yin has brought a human woman to express his love. Is it really appropriate for us to treat the woman he brought back like this?"

The little water snake glanced at Madam Jiu with evasive eyes, hesitated, lowered its head, and spoke of its worries.

"There's nothing wrong with it, you came back alive too...! What, are you having second thoughts...?"

Madam Jiu chuckled coldly a few times and asked the little water snake a mocking question.

"No, Your Highness has your own arrangements, and I dare not question them."

The little water snake took a few steps back in fear and quickly explained.

"Enough with the nonsense, I just want to know, what did you gain this time...? Was there anything about that human woman that made her different from ordinary people...?"

Madam Jiu put down her wine glass, stood up, and continued to ask the little water snake questions.

"From what I can see, she's just an ordinary human woman... nothing special...!"

The little water snake carefully explained to Madam Jiu.

"Just an ordinary human woman...? There's really nothing special about her?"

Madam Jiu walked up to the little water snake and continued to press for answers.

"Nothing special about this woman has been found yet! She is indeed an ordinary human woman who does not know magic and is powerless to protect herself. Otherwise, how could she have been poisoned by His Highness?"

The little water snake replied to Madam Jiu with great certainty.

"That's strange. Lin Yin shouldn't waste his time on an ordinary human woman. Why would he bring this ordinary human woman back to the Acquaintance Pavilion?"

Lady Jiu remained troubled for a long time, unable to believe that Lin Yin would go to such lengths to send a common human back to express his longing. She suddenly found herself unable to understand Lin Yin and fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, should we continue to keep an eye on things?"

The little water snake looked up and asked Madam Jiu.

"Keep an eye on her secretly...! Don't make a sound. We need to figure out why Lin Yin brought her back...?"

Madam Jiu continued to instruct the little water snake.

"Yes...! Your subordinate obeys...!"

The little water snake accepted the order and bowed to Madam Jiu again.
